A tactic used by Microsoft and Google in the past:

Basically they embrace an open standard , extend with proprietary nonsense and then extinguish it with sheer incompetency or greed.

Jesus Christ, I'm not a tankie 😄

I'm a 'reddit is too ban friendly' guy.

I also mentioned in another comment that the false equivalency example might not have been too great. Hope you see where I'm coming from.

Let's flip the argument around. Lets say i wrote:

'if people started flying rainbow flags on their cars in my country , I'll keep a baseball bat in my car'

Do you think i deserve to be perma banned for 'advocating violence'?

Can you elaborate on the 'politics'?

I sense something weird , especially with the hardcoded 'hate speech' filter, which seems to run contrary to federation.

Anything else I should know about ?
